Sounds good brother, I'll add you now :)
I'm building the stock market for AI credits. Planting seeds nobody sees from day 0. Text me if you'd like to be a part of it somehow. Still figuring it out. I need a strong network for this. My biggest project yet.
Honestly you're right. I'm not exactly sure if focusing on a specific niche is my goal here, I just want to own the most trusted data source for AI, constantly updating itself, constantly on top of the game. This is a very long term play though :) I thought of API's but models don't come out as fast, so people won't really pay for an api you know. Unless the API is a plug and play way for devs to use to determine which model to use for what task automatically.
Currently building an agentic OS, or the closest thing I can. Building it for iOS, anyone have any features they'd want to see?
Not sure if I would open source it tbh, want to get it completely productionized, currently, it's managing emails, knows my short term goals and long term goals, drafting emails, making outbound calls, etc. The AI just called my sister based on my location and the context that I was going to pick her up and said Gokmen will be there in 5 minutes. Didn't even touch it :)
Making some progress on the digital journal song generation app, decided to call it Lyra (yes I'm the goat at logos don't @ me). Right now, you can either speak to the app or text to vent. Talk about anything, literally anything. You get yourself a banger personalized just for you. You can then go ahead and share with a generated lyric video for the hook on your socials or send to your friends too if you're open like that.
If anyone has any ideas on what other ideas we could add to this, please do let me know by commenting below, trying to build this publically.
19/m pricing is what I'm thinking.
Yeah, I'm currently working on the engine to capture the actual core energy and define the output for that. Poems, rants, angry texts, I want them to all be valid and work properly!
Fun fact: I originally tested it with my poems to and made a whole album it was beautiful seeing it come to life!
Locked in my first subscription of 100 euros! Waiting on the next client to see my message, locked him in at 150 a month. Almost at 250 MRR :D
Thank you brother!
Taking longer than usual. Trying again shortly
The incident lasted 23 minutes. About 18 of those were spent figuring out what changed. The actual fix took 5 minutes. If those numbers feel familiar, that's what I'm trying to fix.
I like it
Hey guys, I have a strangely niche side hustle, would love to get opinions if anyones had something similar: I'm running a very limited fleet of classic Mercedes' that we want to utilize to rent out to hotels, video/film shoots, weddings, etc.
Wanted to ask how we could even start outreach for this?

Thank you for your kind words and input Michele, I haven't even heard of Fora before, but will definitely look into that! Lot's of things to learn here :)

Good idea Dan, thank you. Will definitely get onto this :) I already have a list of around 170 leads, just need to set up some sort of cold calling campaign or something with an SMTP server, so need to learn how to do that first :)

AI + Gokmen :)
Apple rejected Strivle on the app store because we didn't have "Sign in with Apple" 😭
Resubmitted with the update, we'll see in 48 hours
I believe!
Had my first face-to-face client meeting today, overexplained the technical side, but managed to get a good relationship going, waiting on their response by tomorrow.
Thank you!

Yeah, that's the plan going into the next one. I'm going to AI Beavers hackathon in 3 days, so right now preparing for that. Haven't done any cold calls in a while.
Guyyysss, I think I’m officially exhausted from marketing 😭. Over the past few weeks, I’ve tried pretty much everything I could think of. Posted on LinkedIn. Posted on Instagram. Posted on TikTok.
Result? Lots of impressions. Almost no users.
Tried Reddit. Banned.
Tried Hacker News. Flagged.
At some point it starts feeling less like marketing and more like getting rejected by the entire internet 💀. The frustrating part is that I genuinely believe the product solves a real problem. It basically checks suspicious websites, emails, phone numbers, and crypto wallets and helps identify potential scam or risk signals before people trust them. The idea came from seeing how difficult it has become to tell what's legitimate online anymore.
A website can look professional.
An email can look convincing.
A wallet can seem completely normal.
And people have no easy way to check. So that's what I've been working on. Ironically, creating it felt easier than getting people to notice it 😭. For now, I've honestly stopped marketing for a bit. Not because I want to quit, Just because constantly posting, launching, getting ignored, getting flagged, getting banned, and repeating the cycle is mentally exhausting.
If you've been through this stage before, I'd genuinely love to hear how you got past it. And would love to hear some genuine advices from you guys!
Yeah reddit's subthread rules get me man, I just use that tool to actually dm people straight away tbh
Creating high ticket construction ad campaign creatives literally just from a before and after image of the actual project.
The actual photos need to be perserved, the project needs to be advertised as the real thing, UGC style works really well with this format.
Haven't seen anyone else really doing this, trying to figure out meta business suite and google ads so I can actually run these types of vids and get some metrics to back it up.
Have a few different agents in the background constantly ensuring background or actual images are being baked into videos correctly so it can't be claimed as false advertising :)

Thank you! That's not the actual product I was pitching, but it's certainly something I want to promote :)

WE JUST HIT 1,000 USERS 🎉
8 days ago this didn't exist
Today there are 1,000 founders on Strivle.
This is honestly CRAZY. I built this last weekend because I was bored, fully expecting nothing to come from it, and now there are 1,000 of you here building, posting, helping each other, telling your friends about it. Watching this community come together has been one of the best weeks of my life.
To every single one of you posting your progress, dropping feedback in my DMs, sharing the platform without me asking, defending it in Reddit comments, just being here, thank you. This is your community as much as it's mine and I mean that. None of this happens without you.
Here's where we're going from here.
The next few weeks are going to be massive. Mobile app dropping on the App Store soon so you can post from anywhere. Public profile pages so your work shows up on Google when people search you. More verification integrations beyond Stripe so pre-revenue founders, mobile founders, and people using other payment processors can all be seen for what they ship. Bookmarks, better DMs, smarter notifications. A real Signal score so the ranking reflects more than just MRR.
We've got TinyLaunch live right now and Product Hunt right after, going for #1 of the day. If we hit it, this thing goes to a whole different level.
But the part I'm most excited about isn't the features or the milestones. It's that we're building the place builders should've had a long time ago. Somewhere your work gets seen on merit. Somewhere the loudest voice doesn't win. Somewhere being early actually matters because the network you build here will compound for years.
You're early. You'll always have been early. The first 1,000 on a platform like this become the names everyone references later.
Let's keep going. Next stop, 10,000.
LETS GO STRIVLE!
